Actually, I'm still a bit miffed about Mark's "Racist!" taunt.
It's notable firstly that he's thrown in his verbal hand-grenade but hasn't reacted to my intentionally taunting reply.
It's notable secondly that he hasn't launched the same vitriol the respected long-term SS posters making exactly the same point here (and continuing to do so, see above) as I was.
Perhaps he's sleeping off a hang-over? It was late, after all. (I woke in the early hours after a long week and an early night, and logged on groggily to a lambasting insult.)
Or perhaps he's reflecting on the fact that as white Australians, unjustifiably harbouring a virtual monopoly on power and prestige in this country by accident of birth alone, too many of us assume as white Australians that we're entitled to empowerment.
That WOULD be racist. I was making the point that we're not.
WHITE POWER!
